Reply to "Why I won’t celebrate India’s independence"

Sir Mohammed Iqbal the man who came up with the idea of Pakistan came from a family of Hindu Kashmiri Brahmins. His grandfather Rattan Lal, a Hindu Kashmiri Brahmin accountant, was the chief revenue collector of the Afghan governor of Kashmir. He was caught stealing and embezzling money from the Kashmiri Treasury. The Afghan governor of Kashmir offered Rattan Lal a choice: he should either convert to Islam or be hanged. Rattan Lal chose to stay alive by converting to Islam. He never stole again.

 

 Muhammad Ali Jinnah married a Parsi woman Rattanbai Petit.  Her father was  Sir Dinshaw Petit and her mother was the daughter of the Tata family. Muhammad Ali Jinnah only child Dinah Jinnah moved back to India and married a Parsi man Nevil Wadia who became very wealthy in India as a textile Businessman. Their only child and Muhammad Ali Jinnah only grandchild Nusli Wadia became an Indian Textile Billionaire by building on his father's wealth.  Nusli Wadia recently converted to Zoroastrianism.  His father's religion. Several Zoroastrian priests did not want to convert him because of his Islamic roots but they decided to convert him to Zoroastrianism because of his Zoroastrian ancestry and also because he is a billionaire.
